Award:SFMC Recruiting Ribbon

The SFMC Recruiting Ribbon is awarded to a Marine who successfully recruits five members into the SFMC. If a Marine has successfully recruited 25 individuals into the SFMC they are authorized to attach a gold frame to the ribbon. This gold frame signifies that the individual wearing the ribbon is a master recruiter. To be eligible for this award, a Marine must submit a list of the members that they have successfully recruited to their Brigade OIC according to the criteria below. Upon verification, the Brigade OIC will certify to the COFORCECOM that the nominee is responsible for recruiting the names submitted, and that the required retention time has been met. The list must include the name, SCC numbers, the date joined STARFLEET and the date on which the individual joined the SFMC by changing their affiliation in the STARFLEET Database. A recruit is considered to be successfully recruited when: they are not a member and joins STARFLEET; elects to be a member of the SFMC by changing the affiliation option in the STARFLEET database to active or reserve; and remains active one year and renews their membership. These individuals must not have appeared on any SFMC unit roster prior to their affiliation with the SFMC to be counted. Additionally, transfers or individuals who reaffiliate with the SFMC will not be counted.
